The recent work of Lindsey A. Wolkowicz explores the ways we occupy space - whether constructed, embodied or felt - through memory, inter-relationship, loss, desire and psychodynamics.These ways of inhabiting are expressed visually by placing the subjects of figure and architecture within interdependent visual/spatial relationships.
When drawing, generally on paper with graphite, acrylic, wallpaper, transfer, the figure, lines, geometry and flat areas of color both interrupt and support one another. Within three-dimensional space, architectural surrounds are created through found objects and constructed elements to promote a similar associative relationship between the body and what is built. These two ways of building a space are not about recreating pre-existing structures in a new location but instead presenting or representing an experienced place whether actual, psychological, emotional or circumstantial. It is the “you are here,” “ I was there once,” or the “we have been there together.”
These concepts are further explored through Wolkowicz's ongoing research with Dillon Paul, Movement + Stillness:
